Global Ideas Prize Cooling Roof: Prototype for an evaporative

Global Ideas Prize Territorial Figure:

Global Ideas Prize Refrigerating Jar: Shea butter storage for Nyingali community, Karaga, Ghana. Fostering the production of shea butter as an important local trade, the striking towers of the storage units are designed for passive cooling and allude to traditional local architecture. Designed by Wonjoon Han, Sookhee Yuk, Gahee Van. By storing the nuts and processing them incrementally, the community will be able to sell processed shea butter when it commands a higher price.

roof for radiant cooling, Cherry Valley, CA, USA.

Addressing the potential ramifica- tions of human-induced climate change on the natural environment, the authors Stefano Romagnoli, Juan Cruz Serafini and Tomás Pont propose an infrastructure for the use of tidal energy in Río Gallegos estuary at Punta Loyola in Argentina. The project merges infrastructure, landscape, and architecture in a magnificent natural setting.

This project by Georgina Baronian is a research investigation on how to cool large-scale structures using water on the roof as a thermal insulator and solar reflector, includ- ing a prototype in Cherry Valley in California, USA. The study culminates in a design of a big box structure that is as reduced in its formal manifestation as it is beautiful in its aesthetic simplicity.
